Jeremiah 10:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ My tent has been destroyed,
    and all of its ropes are severed.
My children have left me,
    and they are no more.
No one remains to help me pitch my tent again
    or to put up its curtains.
²¹ The shepherds have proved to be stupid;
    they failed to search for the Lord.
As a result, they have not prospered,
    and their entire flock is scattered.
²² Listen! There is a tremendous noise,
    and it comes ever closer;
    a great uproar from the land of the north;
the towns of Judah will be reduced to a desert
    and become a lair for jackals.
